Gongning City, commonly known as the "Old Man City", was the residence of the commander-in-chief of Urumqi, the minister's yamen and the Eight Banners Army in the Qing Dynasty. Now only the western wall and the southern wall are left, and the ruins of the wall are now cultural relics protection units in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The site is located in Shayibake District, Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China, to the west and south of Xinjiang Agricultural University.

The present wall of Gongning City has two sections, namely the west wall and the south wall, each about 860 meters long. The residual height is 4m, and the thickness of base course is 6m. There are seven horse faces on the south wall, and each horse face is separated by 100 meters. There is a turret in the southwest corner where the west wall meets the south wall. In the 1990s, there were still West Gate and South Gate in the wall of Gongning City, and both West and South Weng City still existed. After the west gate was demolished, only the south gate was left. The urn is semicircular, 48 meters long from north to south and 36 meters long from east to west.

There are side doors about 5 meters wide in the east and west of Wengcheng. There are fragments of blue bricks, tiles and porcelain bowls scattered inside and outside the ruins of Gongning City Wall. The city walls are eroded by wind and rain all the year round, and most of them are poorly preserved. In 2004, Gongning City Wall Site was listed as the fourth batch of cultural relics protection units in Urumqi. In June 2007, it was listed as the sixth batch of cultural relics protection units in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

In 2020, procuratorial organs at all levels in Xinjiang, such as the People's Procuratorate of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and the People's Procuratorate of Urumqi, filed more than 500 cases involving the protection of cultural relics and historical sites, including the administrative public interest litigation case of the protection of the city wall site of Gongning City in Urumqi. Led by the Procurator-General of the People's Procuratorate of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the People's Procuratorate of Urumqi set up an "ancient city wall protection task force" to carry out case investigation, and issued a pre-litigation procuratorial proposal to the Urumqi Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism (Urumqi Cultural Relics Bureau), proposing suggestions such as adding cultural relics protection signs, installing protective fences, and cleaning up garbage within the scope of protection. This case has attracted the attention of the Urumqi Municipal People's Government. At that time, Yasheng Sdic, the mayor, visited the site and decided to rescue the ruins of Gongning City Wall. Urumqi Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism (Urumqi Cultural Relics Bureau) applied to the Cultural Relics Bureau of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region for a special fund of150,000 yuan for the renovation of Gongning City Wall Site.
